In a body portion of this absorbent article, a pocket-shaped space is reliably formed in a position between an absorbent core and a lengthwise end part which forms a torso opening, and the end part is inhibited from rising up. The lengthwise end part of the body portion (1k) forms a torso opening (HB), and torso-surrounding elastic members (71) are provided to the end part along the widthwise direction. The section of the body portion between the end and an absorbent core (11) serves as a section (1kbn) in which the absorbent core and the torso-surrounding elastic members (71) are not present. Standing-gathers forming parts that are sheet-shaped are provided along the lengthwise direction at prescribed positions in the widthwise direction. The standing-gathers forming parts (41) each have, side by side in the widthwise direction, a base part (41k) that cannot stand, and a standing part (41s) that can stand upright towards the skin in the thickness direction, with the base part acting as a support. Fixing parts (42a, 42b) that each fix a lengthwise end part of the standing part (41s) in a state in which the end part covers the body portion (1k) are formed at the end part, and the section (1kbn) in which the absorbent core (11) and the torso-surrounding elastic members (71) are not present is positioned at the innermost section in the lengthwise direction of the fixing parts (42a, 42b).La présente invention concerne un article absorbant, dans une partie corps duquel un espace en forme de poche est formé de manière fiable à une position entre un cœur absorbant et une partie dextrémité dans le sens de la longueur qui forme une ouverture de torse, et la partie dextrémité ne peut pas sélever. La partie dextrémité dans le sens de la longueur de la partie corps (1k) forme une ouverture de torse (HB), et des éléments élastiques entourant le torse (171) sont fournis à la partie dextrémité dans la direction de la largeur. La section de la partie corps entre lextrémité et un cœ
